Each of these drive units hasbeen specifically tuned to provide defined,musical control across the entire lower-bassfrequency range.

Servo-controlled bass drivers

(Klimax 350A, 350 and 340A)The movement of the principal bass driver(s)is constantly monitored by an accelerometer -a very accurate motion sensor, which ismounted on the voice coil of the driver. Theresulting control data is then fed back to theservo circuitry, where it is compared with thedrive unit's input signal, effectively fine-tuningthe bass response in real-time to allow it to overcome any non-linearity of the driver andcompensate for variations in environmental conditions. The end result is an output thatis as true as possible to the original source material.Servo-control, combined with Linn Aktiv crossovers provide the most precise levels ofbass playback in any listening environment.

Aktiv operationThe term 'Aktiv' refers to the proprietary Linn active crossovers and loudspeakerconfiguration.

Aktiv or passive?In passive mode, the output from the power amplifier is passed through the passivecrossover in the loudspeaker, which results in some loss of audio signal as some of itsenergy is used to power the crossover circuitry and therefore is effectively lost.In an Aktiv system, on the other hand, the crossover circuitry is mains powered and sodoes not rely on the signal. The fact that it is powered also allows advanced circuitry tobe included, which exerts a much greater degree of control over the processing of theaudio signal, providing a more precise audio output to the drive units. This results insignificantly improved sonic performance.

Positioning and levelling

To get the best from your Linn Klimax loudspeakers, it is important that they arepositioned and levelled correctly.Please note, in order to achieve the very best from your Klimax loudspeakers, someadjustment may be required after positioning, levelling and connecting. See the Fineadjustment section.

PositioningThe very nature of the 3-K Array with its close driver proximity ensures uniformdispersion characteristics and therefore should not require any significant degree oftoeing-in to improve performance.

A loudspeaker placed too close to a wall will tend to affect bass definition creating abass 'bloom', so a minimum of 4" (10cm) is recommended between the back of aloudspeaker and the closest wall and a minimum distance of 12" (30cm) from thenearest side wall.
